M'kay. A group that people really have never heard about suddenly springs up. Seems some, or more, in that group are pro blm and antifa. Now, why would they do that if they are white supremacists? Whether you know any white supremacists or not, and I don't, but just by knowing what you've been told about them, can you actually imagine any white supremacist saying "black lives matter"? lmao

Apparently their group claimed that a whopping number of 16 that had allegedly showed up. Your article showed that was false and a lesser number allegedly showed up. If I remember right, someone had posted a thread about them in here and that number, of those who allegedly shown up, was about about 3 people. But, any which way you slice it, less than 16 people, or just 3 people, is significantly lower than many 100's or 1,000's of blm/antifa members in the crowd.

That is even IF those 3, or whatever low number, were actually boogaloo boys. Maybe they are antifa just pretending and trying to throw the scent of bad actors to the right? Idk, whatever they are , per your article, they appear to be more comfortable just posting things on social media instead of being in any real life action.


No, this sounds more like it is nothing more than a leftist conspiracy theory.

My point is this. The vast majority of BLM protestors are peaceful. The people causing the violence are NOT doing in the name of BLM. They are just as likely to be right-wing radicals as they are left-wing, or even just apolitical troublemakers,
Do you have solid proof that the "vast majority" of blm protesters are peaceful? No, you don't.

LOL, you fail at your assumption. I rarely ever watch Hannity or Tucker.

White nationalist group posing as antifa called for violence on Twitter | NBC News
Is that why all the democrat mayors, governors, and politicians placing handcuffs on cops to put a smack down on all the radical left wings.....excuse me...i mean right wing radicals trying to make BLM look bad?

Sorry, that's patently false.

Not just the right wing. Moderates are going there too. Silent majority. Dems have only themselves to blame.

Oh please. You just parrot, "leftist conspiracy theory", to any news you don't like.

Try doing some reading. The reports radical right-wingers infiltrating peaceful BLM protests aren't hard to find. Men tied to 'boogaloo' movement conspired to spark protest violence in Las Vegas, feds say

Far-right extremists keep showing up at BLM protests. Are they behind the violence?
So yes, this is happening. There's not many BLM activists being arrested for violence, although you can find a few of them as well. Again, my point is that the violence is coming from both sides and the middle. If you think it's only coming from the left then you simply aren't being honest with yourself.

Yes I do. 80% of the protests have been peaceful according to research. https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/knowledg...-all-50-states
So basically you have no idea what you're talking about.

LOL, so predictable. Not one of you guys who parrot Carlson and Hannity anti-liberal talking points EVER admit to watching them, and yet they remain the most watched right wing propagandists in the country even though no one watches them. It's amazing!

The ADL has compiled a list of the misinformation that you guys have been spreading. Take a look, and I think you'll find every single one of your talking points are listed. https://www.adl.org/resources/report...e-blm-protests

Here's the summary:

"Researchers in ADL’s Center on Extremism documented a range of examples of disinformation related to the protests. These campaigns often included the deliberate mischaracterization of groups or movements, such as portraying activists who support Black Lives Matter as violent extremists or claiming that antifa is a terrorist organization coordinated or manipulated by nebulous external forces. ADL’s researchers found evidence of white supremacists creating or promoting some of these fabricated claims and rumors to further their own agendas. Certain pieces of disinformation which originally appeared years ago have reemerged in the context of the current protests. In some cases, unsubstantiated rumors migrated from digital platforms to physical-world responses."

Sounds exactly like you, doesn't it?
